Powerbag Information

WELCOME TO POWERBAG.

Powerbags are a totally functional ‘use anywhere’ soft to touch weight system, they are filled with sand that flows within the bag and two nylon easy grip webbing handles provide grips for lifting. Contents are held securely within two inner bags. Powerbags are made of a unique blend of tough nylon lined material.

The design of Powerbags makes them very comfortable to train with; the soft construction spreads the load when they are on the shoulders allowing more dynamic and aggressive movements than with traditional weights. Powerbags can be dropped safely and used on almost any surface inside or outdoors. With Powerbags, wherever you wish to train becomes your gym. Many sports teams use Powerbags on the pitch, track, court, beach or poolside, to train alongside their technical sessions. They are both safe and versatile. If you wish to travel abroad with them sand can be emptied and they can be refilled on location.

Although initially developed for use in elite sport where they became highly favoured for their effectiveness and versatility and used by the England Rugby World cup winning squad, they were formally adopted by our armed forces and trialled at DMRC (Defence services medical rehabilitation centre) Headley Court in early 2006. Powerbags went onto be used in Iraq and on Op Herrick, Afghanistan not only with deployed medical rehabilitation teams (DMRT) but also utilised by the Royal Marines and Parachute Regiments as part of their physical training resources in theatre. There are currently over 4000 Powerbags being used by the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army and RAF globally.

Powerbags - Filling & Care

To fill the Powerbag use coarse grain sand such as sharp sand that is dry, as wet sand may rot the line.

We recommend filling the bag outside to avoid any mess. Sharp sand is recommended as other types of sand grain may bind together prevent the free flow of material inside the Powerbag.

Unzip the lid to the Powerbag and fold back the end cap.

Remove the 2 zip-ties then open the waterproof bag folding it back over the edge of the Powerbag outer casing, do the same with the inner nylon bag to allow it to be filled.

Place the Powerbag on some scales.

Fill the bag with the necessary amount of sand in order to get it to the correct weight and then pull the drawstring cord tight then tie off the bag with a zip-tie. Make sure to get the ties as tight as possible and leave some room from the end of the bag to allow the sand to flow.

You will then need to tie a knot in the plastic bag and tie off with the other zip-tie.

Once the bags have been pushed back into the Powerbag shell, you will need to zip the Powerbag shut.

We suggest that you periodically check the inner bags to check for any damage to them, or leaking of sand that may occur from using the bag.

Store your Powerbag away from sunlight.
Although Powerbags are ideal for outdoor use, if they do become soaked.
For any reason dry them out and replace the sand.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth periodically.
